Loyola College Prep Named to Advanced Placement School Honor Roll

The College Board announced that Loyola College Prep has been named to the Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) School Honor Roll, earning a silver distinction. 

The AP® School Honor Roll recognizes schools whose AP programs are delivering results for students while broadening access. Schools can earn this recognition annually based on criteria that reflect a commitment to increasing college-going culture, providing opportunities for students to earn college credit, and maximizing college readiness.

“We are proud to offer our students 13 AP courses, and this distinction is a direct reflection of the hard work our teachers and students put in each and every day,” said John LeBlanc, Principal.

Loyola had 62% of seniors who took at least one AP exam during high school, 51% of seniors scoring a three or higher on at least one AP exam, and 16% of seniors who took five or more AP exams!

“AP represents an opportunity for students to stand out to colleges, earn college credit and placement, and potentially boost their grade point averages,” said Trevor Packer, head of the AP program.  “The schools have shown that they can expand access to these college-level courses and still drive high performance – they represent the best of our AP program.”

College Board’s Advanced Placement® Program (AP®) enables students to pursue college-level studies—with the opportunity to earn college credit, advanced placement, or both—while still in high school. Through AP courses in 38 subjects, each culminating in a challenging exam, students learn to think critically, construct solid arguments, and see many sides of an issue—skills that prepare them for college and beyond.
